David Bowie - Sorrow Lyrics






With your long blonde hair
and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you
was sorrow
Sorrow
You acted funny trying
to spend my money

You're out there playing your high class games of sorrow
Sorrow

You never do what you know you oughta
Something tells me
you're a Devil's daughter
Sorrow, sorrow
Ahhhh, ah, ahhhh

I tried to find her
'Cause I can't resist her
(I tried to find her)
I never knew just how much I missed her
Sorrow
Sorrow

With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue
The only thing I ever got from you was sorrow
Sorrow
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

With your long blonde hair
I couldn't sleep last night
With your long blonde hair

    The greatest cover ever!

    The soundtrack to my early/later life

  4. s.... c....

    His voice is so contrived and phony, like most Bowie. Like his model-looking ass ever knew sorrow.

    Wow nobody here from metal gear solid 3. I'm not but just surprised

  12. G.... B....

    Ok...Penelope Amadeus ...
    So 1975 is a long way off
    But when PAH is burned in
    For

    It's still
    Just
    Like
    Yes
    Ter
    Day.

  17. M.... P....

    I love David's covers... He is so great

  18. A.... W....

    reminds me of an affair i had in early 1974.

  19. P.... S....

  20. D.... j....

    Bowie gave “sorrow “ the soul and passion it lacked when performed by others !

  21. j.... b....

    Twig the wonder kid. ....

    "Sorrow" is a song first recorded by the McCoys in 1965 and released as the B-side to their cover of "Fever". It became a big hit in the United Kingdom in a version by the Merseys, reaching number 4 on the UK chart on 28 April 1966.[1] A version by David Bowie charted worldwide in 1973.

    A line from the song – "With your long blonde hair and your eyes of blue" – is used in the Beatles song "It's All Too Much" which was featured on their 1969 album Yellow Submarine.

    ❤️❤️❤️

  28. J.... M....

    Beautiful voice and just an overall great song

  29. J.... N....

    Bowie's version more closely resembles the original by The McCoys, not the cover by The Merseys. The double tracked lead vocal really sets Bowie's version apart, and the violin, and the feel and dynamics of the track make it the real stand out, IMHO.

  30. J.... A....

    The second "sorrow" he sings is absolute beauty

  31. M.... ....

    LOVE...L.O.V.E. XoxO

  32. T.... H....

    My favorite song by David

  33. T.... B....

    My brother introduced this to me as a 9 yr old in the seventies loved it ever since

  34. T.... M....

    Please excuse my ignorance, but, I am curious here, since I saw Bowie with a sax.....was Bowie playing the sax on this???

  35. s.... c....

    First holiday in Spain with my mate callers 1973 16 years old always reminds me of it

  36. H.... R....

    Going strong in 2019 xxx RIL mister Bowie 💖🌹🎧

  37. J.... D....

    Sorrow , an old fashioned term , but can be apt 2019 to real sadness , that never leaves you x

  38. C.... L....

    OH SO TRUE....BUT I AM OVER..ITMAYBE ITS YOUR TIME TOOOOOOO CRYYYYY??????????????????????????

  39. r.... b....

    Great track got it all

  40. a.... r....

  41. C.... D....

    While David Bowie didn't write song, Once He covered a song it sort of became his.

  42. n.... c....

    That sax and the strings always get me.

  43. C.... L....

  44. C.... B....

  45. P.... B....

    Even the great David Bowie did covers, but this is one of the best ever...😍

  46. B.... M....

    Brilliant song RIP Bowie

  47. P.... S....

    It is impossible to talk to women in this day and age of sorrow. They are better than men and they will always have a chip on their shoulder towards men in a land of gender inequality. It will always be the same since it is human nature and women are always attracted to powerful men despite how rotten he appears to be.

  48. H.... K....

    Sorrow is.....??

  49. S.... M....

    Love this song, probably the best of David's

    S.... M....

    It's not David Bowie's song. It's a cover version of someone else.

  61. P.... ....

    See that mulatta chick? Which one? There's only one. Yes, alright I
    see her now. She is the only 1 who's worth helping...helping myself
    to. Jesus H. Christus & Virgin Mary Christmas. Tell me, after I die:
    What's her name and what's she doing? She is being fitted for a bra
    by a bra expert. Holy brown cow! Somewhere bra experts are being
    hired right now! Who knew that it is vaguely untrue? A tight, white
    brassiere strangulates luscious pink teats till they turn cyanide blue.

  62. T.... S....
